Terribly in Earnest Democrats.

Watterson is on the rampage. All our
readers know who he is-Watterson of the
Louisville Courier, one of the ablest and
boldest Democratic leaders in the South,
who does not believe in milk-and-wa,er
methods OF dealing with the Tariff, nor
with Sam Randall and Democrats of his
stamp. Cleveland's Free Trade message
pleases him nightly. and he goes for the
scalp of every Democrat who does not
stand by the President in assaulting the
system of American Protection. Here is
the way this bellicose Southern editor
talks. He is after Dana of the Sun, before
he strikes for Randall:
From the Louisville Courier-Journal. Dec.
a..
II The Sum sounds note of alarm, of
revolt of retreat, as its response to the Pres
ident's order of battle. The Sun is counting
without its hosts. The Democratic party will
move forward without its assistance. Time
servers, sneaks, cowaris, doubledealers may
fall to the rear or go over TO the enemy.
Mr.. Cleveland gives us something worth
fighting for; Randall and The Sun ask us to
take Cleveland on Blaine's platform. a sur
render in advance. This is not the advice of
wise men this is riot the advice of safe coun-
sellors, and we are forced to add it lacks all
the elements and all the evidences of SINGER
ity. 1t is desperate attempt to save, not the
Democratic party, but the political fortunes
of Samuel j. Randall.

In the savings banks of the country
there Is deposited the neat little sum of
Sl.333, 900, 600, representing the little
savings of about 100000 men,
women aud children. New York
heads the list of States with
S5S5, 000. 900 and Massachusetts follows
with 1872. 00o.000 Connecticut is a good
third, while Illinois brings up at the end
Of the procession. The most of this mon
ey has been accumulated since the Repub-
licans enacted the Morrill, tariff bill Of
1861. These figures show plainly enough
that the Protection of American labor
against the competition Of the poorly paid
European labor has not operated unfavor-
ably TO the industrial and financial inter
ests Of this country.
